P0CC2 Code - Drive Motor Coolant Pump Performance
Quick Answer
The Starter/Generator Control Module coolant pump is a single speed ON/OFF pump that circulates coolant through the auxiliary radiator and the starter/generator to control the temperature of the starter/generator. Common causes include Faulty Starter/Generator Coolant Pump, Starter/Generator Coolant Pump harness is open or shorted, Starter/Generator Coolant Pump circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is High - diagnose this code as soon as possible. Driving is not recommended if the warning light is flashing, the engine runs poorly, or safety-related symptoms are present.

Code P0CC2 Description
The Starter/Generator Control Module uses the exponentially weighted moving average to calculate temperature fluctuations in the starter/generator cooling system. In addition, this diagnostic compares the temperature rate of change by a slope calculation within a set time when the Starter/Generator Control Module coolant pump turns ON. This diagnostic runs once after pump turns ON. If the temperature changes over time too quickly, the Starter/Generator Control Module will indicate a fault.
